  Why is segwit not being adopted en masse?

  Why will people open channels and start hubs on the LN?

The direct short term incentives for segwit seem to be a reduction in fees? Yet it seems like adoption is slow?

In my opinion, since most transactions involve exchanges. They have economical incentives to have high network fees. High fees discourage  users to withdraw bitcoins from exchanges and this is direct profit for owners of these services.
